LAS VEGAS (AP) — USC guard Aaliyah Gayles took another major step in her journey to return to the court 19 months after she was shot multiple times at a house party. Gayles took the court in her hometown for team warmups Monday morning, hitting nine straight mid-range jumpers at one point. She also sang along with entertainer Datus Puryear, who was warming up to sing the national anthem while the 21st-ranked Trojans prepared to face No.
